From Brunches to Broadway — My Birthday Adventure in the Big Apple

Hello lovelies!

Spring has well and truly sprung over here.

I don’t know about you, but I always feel like this time of year is like a new beginning. My birthday is at the end of March. It’s a new season where everything is waking up again; we get more daylight, and people generally feel happier.

As I’ve got older, I’ve realised I don’t want or need “stuff”, so when the husband asks me what I want for my birthday or Christmas, my answer is the same: I would like the gift of some time together.

Because I am still in the first few years of starting a business, my income is unpredictable. So, for the last couple of years, the husband has kindly combined a Christmas & Birthday present and taken me away somewhere. Last year, we had two glorious weeks in Greece. This year, he pulled it out of the bag again with a long weekend in one of my favourite places in the world. New York!

Before heading stateside, I enjoyed a birthday dinner with the girls, followed by some dancing in what can only be described as a dive bar, but the music is so good, and the crowd is “older”, so what’s not to like? I spent time with my family, had dinner with my closest friends, and my besties took me to brunch and spoiled me.

My birthday was spent packing and taking my not-so-little Tobes to the cattery. He is perfectly fine. However, I am not, but we needed to leave for the airport before they opened…
